I didn't see one like that either, but it's very easy to create that same effect using 2 color boards and 4 keyframes.

Download the tiny zipped packed project below and see how that looks. You can tweak the duration and the ease-in/ease-out settings to get just the effect you want

Another option using Skateboard 01.mp4 is to just use the Mask Designer and 2 keyframes, that's all.

Thank you! That worked great.

I know this is going to sound insane... but after editing over 100 videos I've still never used keyframes. lol.. I didn't see anything inside the project file that showed me how you did this. Would you be so kind to explain in detail how you created this? Your transition seems to be smoother than the above solution as well. Unless it's just my old man eyes. lol.. Thank you.

Select the clip and then open the "Mask Designer" from the "Tools" menu, it's all there. The attached pic summarizes the basic steps within the "Mask Designer".

Basically, all one is doing with keyframes is to allow the initial height of the mask to be set very small, 0.001, and then at the second keyframe, whatever timecode it is set at, the mask reaches its full height of 1.0.
